US 2016/0108620 A1 · CLIP FOR SECURING REBAR

Abstract

The present invention is a clip for securing more than two rebar rods. The rods may be secured in a planar or three-dimensional lattice configuration. In a planar configuration, the clip accommodates two parallel rebar rods and a third rod perpendicular to the first two. Alternatively, the clip may secure three mutually perpendicular rods. The clip is constructed of at least two mutually perpendicular planar surfaces. Each planar surface is recessed in a seat for holding a rod. Each seat has a semicircular arch where the rod sits, with an optional rectangular opening for inserting the rod. In a preferred embodiment, the clip has five seats. Two seats are parallel with a coincident axis in the x-direction. Two other seats are side-by-side with parallel axes in the y-direction. Another seat has an axis in the z-direction. Each rod is held in place by other rods.
